How Long Will It Run

How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a toaster?

It will not. A toaster draws 1,000 W and the EcoFlow RIVER Pro's inverter is rated at 600 W, so the station will refuse the load rather than run it slowly. Capacity is irrelevant here — you need a bigger inverter, not a bigger battery.

Two minutes of full draw; about 35 Wh a round.

The numbers

EcoFlow RIVER Pro · 720 Wh · new pack at 20 °C, 10% reserve
SetupAverage drawCautiousTypicalBest case
1 × toaster, UK 230 V1,010 W———
2 × toaster, UK 230 V2,010 W———
1 × toaster, US 120 V1,210 W———
  • Usable energy: 496 Wh of the 720 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 33,354 Wh of rated capacity — 46.3× this station.
  • Start-up: the toaster asks for 1,200 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.
